Paco Jemez and Las Palmas look to have laid down their weapons

The Canaries, who have struggled all season, were in the relegation zone before the game against Real Madrid. They were six points from safety and needed a positive result from this big game to kickstart their bid to avoid relegation. Hopes were high, especially after the draw they had eked out against Barcelona last month.

However, on the night, Las Palmas were poor in possession, gave away far too much space for Gareth Bale and Marco Asensio to run in behind and never looked like troubling the side that had rested half of their first team superstars.

Their performances this campaign have been half-baked for the most part, and off-field issues such as striker Loic Remy being suspended for turning up late have dominated the headlines. This disappointing defeat makes Las Palmas' next game, against Levante, their biggest game of the season so far.

Levante are 17th in the table, seven points ahead of the Canaries. But going by Las Palmas' current form and their dismal outing against Real Madrid, these are not great times for the side.
